Operation Manual

7.2.4 Entering Assigned Area
Most probably when entering an assigned area auto advance is going to be turned off. The
message “Inside zone” will be shown and buttons CLOSE and NEXT will appear in the lower
row. Pressing the CLOSE button will dismiss the inside zone message. The task will be
auto advanced to the next point when leaving the assigned area. If you want to auto
advance to the next turn point earlier you may always press the NEXT button in task mode
(see 7.2.3).
If NEXT is pressed the task is advanced to the next turn point.
When flying in an assigned area it is NOT important when you will advance to next
turn point. The LX8000 is always taking into account the most optimal fix inside
the assigned area for the total distance calculation.
7.2.5 Moving Point Inside Assigned Area
If at least one observation zone is defined as an assigned area, it is possible to move the
point within this area. Moving the point will increase or decrease the total task length.
Select the MOVE action within task mode. A dialogue with the current assigned area will be
shown.
In the upper-right corner the remaining task distance is shown as well as the required task
speed, remaining task time, delta time and estimated time of arrival.
Delta time is the difference between the remaining time and time of arrival. If it is
negative you will arrive back too soon and if it is positive you will arrive too late.
Keep in mind that the time of arrival can be calculated using different methods which are
found in the QNH and RES setup (see Chapter 5.1.1).
A point is moved using the lower two knobs.
Press the DIS/BRG or LON/LAT button to toggle between the two methods of moving the
point.
When the DIS/BRG button is shown the point is moved in the x, y directions. Use the
lower-right knob to move the point in north/south direction or rotate the lower-left knob to
move the point in east/west direction.
If the LON/LAT button is shown the point is moved in radial and azimuth direction. Rotate
the lower-right knob (page selector) to move the point in the radial direction from the area
centre.
Use the lower-left knob (zoom) to move point in the axial direction.
If more than one assigned area is set for a task the NEXT>> button is shown in the lower
line. Press this button if you would like to move point into another assigned area.
